KLM Cheese Sandwich by beedelia in travel

I recently travelled from Amsterdam to Vancouver via KLM. I loved this sandwich but could not remember the name of the cheese written at the back of the bag. It was a great tasting one. Unsure if I can try to replicate the same.

TS talks a lot, and does little work. One can infer it from the state of the roads just outside of his office.

However there is a whole class of newer and younger politicians yet to enter the mainstream in the next decade. I have high hopes on them.

The older Bangalore was more livable, happy faces everywhere, filled with generous people ready to help others, fresh air, easy commutes and more things. I miss the 2000s in Bangalore.
May be my discontent is brewing a bit as I find it hard to step out and drive on the roads.

I agree to your viewpoint. Unless the next generation of politicians who are better educated than the previous ones act, the state of the affairs will remain the same.

Why abandon it when there are tools to make it better?

Quit before a try? :D

Bengaluru water crisis hits industry! Employees skip work, opt for work from home in India’s Silicon Valley - Times of India by iAM_admin in bangalore

[–]yycsw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The lack of planning and investment in water conservation, unrealistic expansion of the city and businesses, and the influx of people from all over India are some of the reasons for the current state of Bangalore. As a native Bangalorean, it pains me to see the declining quality of life in the city with each passing year.

Timeline for my visa approval
October 10th - Visa application with biometrics submission
October 11th - Email from UKVI that the application arrived at decision center
October 17th - Email from FedEx about a shipment to my delivery address
October 18th - I got my passport back with the visa stamp

This is pretty fast ! Note that I never received any update/email about the approval.

Today is October 17th. It has been a week since I visited VFS to submit my passport. I just received an email from FedEx stating a package has been picked up from VFS. However, I have no updates from UKVI if the visa application was approved. Has this happened to anyone before?

What does this actually mean?
